It was the night before the last day of winter. I was super excited for spring. I was definitely going to miss winter though. All the snow days and activities and hot cocoa. It was supposed to be very snowy and icy the next day and I was hoping for a snow day.
Mom walked into the room and said, “ Well, it is a two hour late start.”
“ Yay!” I said. It wasn’t a snow day but I got some time to do my list of winter activities.
The next day I woke up really early. Probably around six thirty( It was still dark). I put all of my snow stuff on and went sledding on the hill right next to my house. I climbed the hill and sled down on my new sled. It was bright red and had a white string connected to it. I did this for about a half hour. I came to my yard and started making an army of snow angels. After ten minutes my little sister came out. We built a snow man then came inside.
“ Great idea to wake up early and enjoy the last day of winter Addie” Said my mom as she made us some hot cocoa and got us some poptarts.
“Thanks! I want to get everything done on my list before school starts. It will be tricky, but I can do it!”
My mom took my list and said, “ Well I love your enthusiasm but you really think you can get this all done.
I took the list back and looked. I checked off sledding, snow angels, build a snowman, and hot cocoa. All I needed was ice skating, winter crafts, and snowboarding.
“ yup!” I said with even more enthusiasm.
“ Okay then let's go to the ice rink!” My mom said putting on her coat.
At the ice rink I was working on a jump. My sister was just skating with my mom. We were there until eight o-clock. After that we went to the dam hill and did a little snowboarding. I was just going down the hill a few times while I let my sister use my new sled. It was fun!
“ What's left on your list Addie. “ Asked my mom helping my sister with her goggles.
“ I just need to do some winter crafts. I said. Looking at my sheet in the car.
“ Okay lets go bye some at Hobby Lobby.”
At Hobby Lobby we found snowflakes, snowmen, and sled crafts. We got two of each and paid for them. When we were walking to the car I dropped the bag with all the crafts and the wind picked them up and they started flying away!
“ Oh no! “ I screamed.
Those were the last ones in the store, so we chased after them. They got too high and were gone.
“Aw.” I cried.
“ I’m sorry Addie. Maybe we could get them somewhere else.” My mom said thoughtfully.
“ School starts in half an hour and there is no time.” I said.
“ Well we should go home and get ready for school then.”
So we left and went to school. I was disappointed that I couldn’t do any winter crafts, but as the day went on I started to feel better. The day went on and on, 1st period, 2nd, 3rd, all the way to seventh. When it was finally eighth period I walked into the room and saw that we had a sub. I greeted her with a smile and sat down.
“Good Afternoon! I am Mrs. Gluten. Today we are going to just draw instead of a huge project. When your teacher is back you will do something cooler.” The woman looked around 50 years old and had a blue sweatshirt on.
“Before we begin, do you want me to tell you a story?” She said, grabbing her bag.
I loved when subs told stories of their life. They were always so interesting. Especially ones about dogs.
We all said yes and she began, “ Well this morning obviously was a late start and my daughter brought her children to my house because she had to work. My grandchildren wanted to do some crafts so we went to Hobby Lobby. Sadly they were all gone. “
I flinched. I was the one who took the last one’s. I felt terrible.
“ We decided to go to Dollar Tree so we went to our car but saw some crafts in a tree!” She exclaimed.
My eyes opened wide. I raised my hand slowly.
“Yes dear.” Said Mrs. Gluten.
“ What did you do with the crafts?” I said, shocked.
“Well we took two, but didn’t use the other ones.”
My jaw dropped. “ What did you do with the other one’s”
“ Well they are right here.” She said holding the snowmen and snowflake crafts.
“ I had the same idea as you so my family went to Hobby Lobby to get some crafts. They were the last ones.” I said cautiously.
“ Oh, so you got the last ones!” She said with a smile on her face.
“ Yes, I was so excited but I dropped them and they blew away.” I said slowly.
“Well these must be yours then. Would you like to have them?” She reached them out to me.
“Yes, if you don’t mind.” I said, trying not to yell with excitement.
She handed them to me and I put them in my folder. When the bell rang for us to go home I rushed to my locker and put the crafts in my bag. I tried to get out of school quickly so I could have the crafts safe and sound at home. I was not losing them again! I rushed home so I could tell my mom everything. I got home at 3:45 and went into my momś room where she was reading and my sister was playing a game. I told them everything.
¨ That's great! Would you two like to do them?¨ Said my mom taking the crafts that were in my hands.
¨You bet I do!” I said.
The rest of the afternoon my sister and I did the crafts. I made a snowflake and snowman and so did my sister. We watched a movie before we went to bed, and had cookies. When I got in bed I thought to myself, this was the best last day of winter ever!
The End.
